The Inner Courtyard of Brougham Castle

The inner courtyard of Brougham Castle near Penrith in Cumbria.
To the left of the photograph is the inner gatehouse and keep. To the right is the well, then the lodgings, chapel and kitchen.
The castle fell into a state of disrepair in the 17th century and suffered some damage at the hands of the Parliamentarians but Lady Anne Cliiford set about repairing it at a cost of £40,000. The castle was to become her country home and she died there in her rooms within the keep in 1676 at the grand age of 86.
